Persée et Andromede (Perseus and Andromeda)

François-Philippe Charpentier, after Carle Van Loo

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a mythological scene. The scene shows a figure with a sword and shield descending from the sky, confronting another figure on a rocky outcrop. Waves crash against rocks below. In the background, a group of observers can be seen. The drawing uses shading and line work for depth.
